Local man strips off for Magic Mike XXL crowd at cinema

An Eastbourne man has stripped in front of a crowd at Cineworld after launching a Facebook campaign.

Luke Samson called on his friends and followers to ‘like’ his status on Facebook yesterday. Luke posted, “1,000 likes and I’ll jump on the stage at Cineworld Eastbourne and do a full strip routine through Magic Mike XXL @ 8.30.”

His post received 1,600 likes throughout yesterday, with more than 100 people egging him on.

True to his word, at the end of the film, Luke jumped up on the stage in front of the cinema screen and stripped in front of the crowd. Many filmed his antics on their phones.

His stunt appeared to be well received, with many people congratulating him on Facebook and posting dark and blurry videos and photographs due to the dim cinema lighting. One of the videos was uploaded to You Tube and can be viewed here (obviously contains some mild nudity).

Becky Iona was just one of the many to label Luke a ‘legend’. She took to Facebook and said, “Luke Samson you absolute legend! Everyone has to share this make it go viral! Funniest end to Magic Mike!”

Magic Mike XXL stars Channing Tatum as a male stripper.
